GOP caucus chairman: House Democrats are ‘whiny kids ‘

State Rep. Larry Taylor, the chairman of the GOP caucus in the House, said Republicans absolutely won’t go along with Democratic suggestions to save bills that are dying due to the Voter ID measure.

Democrats have proposed taking key bills out of order on the calendar, allowing the House to act on important issues while continuing to stall action on Voter ID.

Republicans have refused, and Taylor said that won’t change. He said if Republicans agree to that, then the next time Democrats don’t like a bill, they would “just throw a big hissy fit again.”

“We should give in to their demands and then they’ll act right? If you have a kid throwing a fit on the floor, do you give in to what they’re asking?” Taylor said, suggesting that the Democrats are “whiny kids.”

As for Democrats’ contention that GOP bigwigs are calling the shots, Taylor said, “I haven’t talked to anyone with the Republican Party this whole week.”

Democrats and Republicans are blaming each other for the key bills that are dying. Democrats say the GOP could make the delay go away by putting aside Voter ID. Republicans say that bill should be voted on like any other.

Taylor also made a reference to the demands of terrorists and kidnappers, then repeatedly emphasized, “I’m not saying they’re terrorists or kidnappers.”
